New U.S. OSHA Chemical Plant Safety Inspection Program - Is Your Company Prepared? In this webcast you will receive an outline of the Process Safety Management (PSM) Covered Chemical Facilities National Emphasis Program (Chemical NEP), a nationwide chemical site inspection program, and advice on how to prepare for Chemical NEP plant inspections. The U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) recently finalized the nationwide version of its Chemical NEP, which applies to all chemical facilities subject to OSHA's PSM Standard (29 CFR 1910.119), including facilities that manufacture explosives. The introduction of the Chemical NEP follows on from comprehensive PSM inspections originally applied to the refinery industry (Refinery NEP) that were initiated in response to the tragic BP incident at Texas City in 2005. The webcast will answer questions such as: � How do the Chemical and Refinery NEP inspections differ?
� How does OSHA prioritize and select the sites it will inspect?
� What should facilities expect during a Chemical NEP inspection?
� How to prepare for a Chemical NEP inspection, and other OSHA PSM inspections. What steps should you take? What are the do's and don'ts? This one hour presentation will be followed by a 15-minute period of questions from the audience. SPEAKERS  Quentin A. Baker
